When providing receipts or statements, you should thank the giver.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for large gifts
• D. It depends

Answer: (A)

Showing appreciation in professional financial communications is essential. When you provide receipts or statements, including a brief note of thanks acknowledges the giver’s support and shows you value their partnership. This courtesy helps build trust, reinforces respectful communication, and can encourage continued cooperation. It’s appropriate to include a short expression of gratitude in the message or on the accompanying material, and it’s good practice regardless of gift size or who the donor is. Saying it depends would overlook the expectation of courteous interaction in ministry communications, so a simple, sincere thank-you is the right approach.
